FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
BROKAT TECHNOLOGIES UNVEILS NEW USER-CENTRIC
APPROACH TO BUSINESS
COMPLETE USER-CENTRIC SOFTWARE INFRASTRUCTURE ENABLES NEW MODELS FOR E-BUSINESS
SAN JOSE, CALIF., FEBRUARY 21, 2001 -- Brokat Technologies (Nasdaq: BROA, Neuer
Mrkt: BRJ), a global leader in software that enables user-centric business,
today announced its new strategy and product offerings to facilitate the shift
from an enterprise-centric to a user-centric approach for conducting e-business.
Brokat now provides, through four new product families, a complete end-to-end
set of critical technologies that enables a new generation of user-focused
informational and transactional services.
Brokat Technologies' new user-centric software allows e-businesses, mobile
service providers, financial services companies, information service providers
and portals to collaborate around the user's needs and desires. The user - a
consumer or an employee - is at the center of the transaction, and is empowered
by personalized information, products and services that are available anytime
and anywhere.
"Whether it's stock quotes, sports scores, news alerts or lottery results, our
users are in charge, because they specify what information they want and receive
it when they need it," said Jorge Mata, CEO of MyAlert.com, a mobile portal
company with two million subscribers. "Brokat Technologies' advanced
user-centric software enables MyAlert.com to orchestrate information unique to
each user and serve it to them on their mobile phone anytime, anywhere."
In conjunction with this strategic shift, Brokat AG is changing its corporate
identity to Brokat Technologies to better reflect the critical technologies that
it provides to enable a user-centric approach to m-commerce.
"Unlike today, where access to services are constrained by where you are and who
you are, we are convinced that in the future we will have access to services as
naturally as the air we breathe - what Brokat Technologies calls `Service Like
Air,'" said Stefan Roever, CEO of Brokat Technologies. "In order for this shift
to occur, a new business model and new user-centric software infrastructure are
required and Brokat Technologies is providing the complete stack."
Capitalizing on its leadership in e-finance software in Europe, Asia and North
America, Brokat Technologies is emerging as a global software powerhouse. Today,
the company offers a complete end-to-end family of software products to enable
the shift from enterprise-

centric to user-centric business. Three critical elements enabling user-centric
business are integrated within Brokat Technologies' m-infrastructure software:
Mobility - accessible anytime and anywhere; Mass adoption - scalability for
multi-millions of users; and Multi-channel - available through many mediums,
from PCs to PDAs to cellular phones.
"As the Internet, wireless and other network technologies merge into the
ubiquitous Supranet, new destabilizing net-centric business models will emerge,"
said Massimo Pezzini, vice president and research director for Application
Integration & Middleware Strategy at Gartner Group. "Enterprises able to quickly
allow their users to exploit the infinite opportunities of the Supranet will
enjoy a strategic competitive advantage. To empower that, it is imperative for
enterprises to put in place TOTAL BUSINESS INTEGRATION strategies to link their
customers, employees, corporate processes and business partners. Vendors
providing an end-to-end, scalable, reliable and easy to deploy software
infrastructure implementing such a cohesive, multi-channel `central nervous
system' are well positioned to emerge as the software megavendors in the
Supranet era."
"Consider what a good personal assistant does for a busy person - handling
financial matters, arranging travel, managing calendars, conducting commerce.
Now imagine a virtual personal assistant that knows your preferences doing this
for you and million of others," said Roever. "Our products are positioned for
businesses vying for that valuable piece of virtual real estate between
individuals and the services that they need."
